[Nix-dev] [nix-dev] broken manifest

[Arie Middelkoop]

Delete:  /nix/store/ps8c0vgpwz4zdgr0jznxak6cp53f95lm-MANIFEST.bz2
then run: nix-store --verify
Your next nixos-rebuild will then download the manifest again.

The problem is that the manifest that you downloaded is corrupted. I had
this several times when I was connected to an access point that required me
to login. It would then redirect my connection to a login website,  which
would be downloaded as the manifest file and thus be corrupt.

It would actually be nice if nixos-rebuild would transparently deal with
this issue.
